Christmas crafting

So far this has turned out to be a Tree crafting Chistmas

 I had been sick with some sort of consumption 

and spent two days cutting out circles to make this tree

then I saw the idea to sew a tree

 When we first moved to our home (13yrs ago) we had just lost Jake

This new home was on an acre of land

I made a memorial garden/flower bed for Jake

When we lost my brother in law last summer

I felt Jakes garden needed to be able to hold many memorials

the photo below shows the star fish Char & I picked out for Dan

Hasn't made it to the garden yet

I kind of like seeing it daily

Remember these from 2 wks ago?

 They have evolved

 These are Debbies

shes so good!

 Here are many of them

 Hard to photograph because of their size

 We sure had fun making them

I rarely work with clay

my hands aren't good at molding it

but I surely enjoyed all the company

I'm ready to mail off my swirl commission tomorrow

I'll miss it

The longer it takes to work on something

The more attached I am to it

Wednesday, Stephy, Zacks girlfriend will be over to make some trees with me

and then I'm done with crafting!

for this this year

I will start my next commission next week!

Have a great day!
